우리가 바라고 기다리는 것은 예수님의 재림입니다!

 우리가 바라고 기다리는 것은 예수님의 재림입니다!       “ 백성들이 바라고 기다리므로 모든 사람들이 요한을 혹 그리스도신가 심중에 생각하니 ”[( 현대인의 성경 ) “ 백성들은 메시야를 무척 기다리고 있었으므로 혹시 요한이 그가 아닌가 하고 모두 속으로 생각하고 있었다 ”]( 누가복음 3:15) 하는 말씀을 묵상하면서 주시는 교훈을 받고자 합니다 :     (1)     저는 이 말씀을 묵상할 때 “ 백성들이 바라고 기다리 ” 고 있었던 분은 “ 메시야 ” 요 ( 눅 3:15, 현대인의 성경 ), 그들이 얼마나 메시야를 바라고 기다렸으면 세례 요한이 혹시 메시야가 아닌가 하고 속으로 생각까지 하였을까 하는 생각이 들었습니다 .   (a)     이러한 생각 속에서 든 생각은 제가 풀러 신학교를 다녔을 때 김세윤 교수님으로부터 배운 유대인들의 메시아적 기대 (Messianic expectation) 3 가지가 생각났습니다 : (1) 정치적 해방 (Political freedom), (2) 경제적 풍부 (Economic prosperity), (3) 사회적 공의 (Social justice)( 김세윤 ).   (i)                       세례 요한이 요단강 부근의 여러 지방을 다니며 죄를 용서받게 하려고 회개의 세례를 전파하였을 당시 (3 절 , 현대인의 성경 ) 유대인들은 메시아가 오시면 자기들을 지배하고 다스리고 있었던 로마 ...

Conclusion (1 Thessalonians)

Conclusion (1 Thessalonians)           The grace of God is with the Lord-centered community church that the Lord is building (1 Thess. 1:1; 5:28). When Apostle Paul started writing the letter to the Thessalonian church saints, he said “Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you” (1:1). Also at the end of the letter, he wrote to them “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you” (5:28). Paul, who began the letter with grace and ended the letter with grace, prayed that the God’s grace always be with the Thessalonian church saints because the Thessalonian church was found by the grace of God.
